RADAR The anticipated May 5 signing of a Czech-U.S. treaty to allow a radar base on Czech soil has been postponed, the Czech News Agency (ČTK) reported April 29. Due to the short length of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s Prague visit for a May 3 missile-defense conference, she is now expected to sign the main treaty in early June, along with the SOFA treaty, which will set the framework for the presence of U.S. troops at the base.  

LISBON TREATY The governing coalition opposes a bill to hold a referendum enabling the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, as proposed by the minority Communist Party, Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek told journalists April 28. The Senate submitted the treaty, a replacement for the failed EU constitution of 2005, for evaluation by the Constitutional Court April 22, according to ČTK.
MAY DAY City Hall registered 35 public rallies to be held in the city on May Day, May 1, according to ČTK. Organizers include rightist and left-wing extremists and various political parties, said Deputy Mayor Rudolf Blažek. City Hall will form four supervising groups to dissolve any of the meetings if public assembly laws are breached.
MISSIONS The government decided April 28 to allot 115 million Kč ($7.4 million) for Czech participation in civilian foreign missions, a 78 million increase over last year. Fourteen million Kč will go to the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Afghanistan and 36 million Kč will finance missions in the Balkans, the Middle East, Georgia and Liberia.
POLICE Former Police chief Vladimír Husák will head the Foreigners’ Police as of May 1, Foreigners’ Police spokeswoman Barbora Kudláčková announced April 28. Husák, who was police chief since 2005, resigned from his post in May 2007, ČTK reported.
